thank you!
just by my experiences, I can't speak for others, but most often times I feel ignored, both physically and emotionally, and I feel like I'll never be as successful as my older sister, or as multimedia creative as my little brother. often times he gets praised for his drawings, and I get "You draw that all the time" "___ doesn't actually look like that" or "Draw something else" and I am trying so hard for the "I'm proud of you" that I don't get very often, and just have the eternal desire for my art to be approved by them, for my emotions to be heard and not be mocked. I have given up on the fact of being emotionally understood so I just stay in my room all day, outside of when I have a friend over.
